2nd or 3rd offense?

[tunderwo2]

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Missouri
In 2001 I was arrested and convicted for 2nd degree assault
and leaving the scene of an accident after a drunk driving
accident. In 2005 I was arrested and convicted of excessive
BAC. In January of this year I was arrested for DWI. Will
the first convictions of 2nd degree assault and leaving the
scene of an accident be counted to make this my 2nd or 3rd
conviction.What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?

The 2001 conviction(s) was not in any way alcohol related?

The convictions I have are 2nd degree assault and leaving the scene of an accident. 2nd degree assault was a class C felony and leaving the scene was a class D felony. I did lose my license for a year and have to take the SATOP classes. I also had to do a year of AA. Several of the punishments for along with other DWI punishments. I'm just not sure how these convictions will figure in. The crimes were alcohol related but it doesn't say that in the court documents and so far they are only charging me with a misdemeanor for a prior offender and not a felony for a persistent offender.

One can only hope it's counted as a 3rd conviction. You just don't seem to "get" it.

To quote a good friend of mine (SilverPlum).

You could have killed someone. You better hope I'm not on that jury.
